Washington DC, August 8:
Reports of rape, torture, and abuse against Palestinian inmates in Israeli detention centers have deeply troubled White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who voiced her grave worry on Wednesday. The United States has maintained a constant and unwavering position with Israel that the latter must treat detainees humanely, Jean-Pierre stressed during a news briefing.

I am quite worried about the rape, torture, and abuse allegations. "We have consistently and clearly communicated with Israel the need for it to treat all detainees with dignity and respect, in line with international law, and to ensure accountability for any abuses or violations," she added.

According to her, the US has instructed Israel to treat all prisoners humanely, in line with international law, and to hold perpetrators accountable for any abuses or violations that may occur. The United States will hold discussions over the Israeli Defense Forces' inquiry into allegations of Palestinian troops' maltreatment.

Allegations of severe maltreatment of Palestinian captives by IDF soldiers are serious, and we support an investigation into these claims. Rule of law and due process must always take precedence, Pierre emphasized. Rule of law and due process must always be upheld, according to Pierre.

She stated that the leaders had "closed some important gaps," as well as "Our focus is going to continue to have those diplomatic conversations with Middle East leaders on de-escalation and the tensions there in the region, obviously bringing in the ceasefire and hostage release deal to a conclusion."

The president has been discussing this for a while now. She assured him that he and his staff would keep working nonstop until the sale was finalized. According to Pierre, President Joe Biden is concentrating on de-escalation in the Middle East as a whole. "We want to see a de-escalation in tension," according to her.
